BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - The Alabama Sports Writers Association
all-state football team was released for publication in Wednesday newspapers,
and the 2013 UAB recruiting class had some representation.

Bear in mind that the number of stars next to a recruit's
name doesn't have anything to do with all-state selection. The process is voted
on by writers all over the state who cover high school sports.

In Class 6A, Chelsea running back Julius McCall made the
all-state team. The 5-foot-10, 180-pound McCall ran for 1,750 yards on 226
carries with 20 rushing touchdowns. McCall, who was named the Birmingham News
Shelby County Player of the Year, also added two receiving touchdowns and a
kick return for a touchdown.

Clay-Chalkville linebacker Brandon Fuller was named
honorable mention. Fuller, who had 92 tackles and recovered or forced eight
fumbles, also made the Birmingham News/AL.com All-North/East team.

Florence wide receiver J.J. Green also made honorable
mention.

In Class 3A, Courtney Foy of Midfield made the all-state
team as an offensive athlete. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound Foy led Midfield to the
second round of the playoffs and could play one of several skill positions on
either side of the ball, though he seems to project best as a dynamic receiver.

In Class 2A, Tanner's Greg Maclin and Fred Rich helped lead
the Rattlers to the state championship. Rich was named the state championship's
most valuable player.

Both players found their names on the all-state team on the defensive
side of the ball, which is where they project in college. Maclin, listed at
6-foot-4 and 180 pounds, made the list as a defensive back and Rich, 6-foot-2
and 200 pounds, was honored as a linebacker.

Rich had 69 tackles and two interceptions, including an
interception in the state title game. He topped 1,500 yards rushing and 20
touchdowns offensively. Maclin had 30 tackles and six interceptions while
scoring two defensive touchdowns. Maclin had 28 receptions for 600 yards and
nine touchdowns offensively.

Rich and Maclin also made the Huntsville Times all-elite first team.

The ASWA Back and Lineman of the Year finalists will be
released on Saturday.

Some other UAB commits didn't make the all-state team but
were honored by AL.com.

Montevallo's Korey Cunningham made the All-Shelby team as a
defensive end. The 6-foot-6, 250-pound Cunningham had 45 tackles and four
sacks. Cunningham likely projects as a tight end at UAB.

Vestavia Hills defensive end Kalvin Robinson, who had 48
tackles and eight sacks, made the All-Hoover/South team.

Spain Park linebacker Je'Niah Jackson also made the
All-Hoover/South team after a career where he started for three years and had
275 tackles.

Daphne linebacker Jalen Coleman was named to the Mobile Press-Register second team all-region.
